Now it’s time for us all to do a little good.

I received the email below from Chris Bradford, author of the superb Young Samurai series. Come on folks, dig in for any help you can give and please pass the message on around your school, family, office – everyone!

Now, from Chris:

I hope you don’t mind me emailing you with this personal request.

A very good friend of mine’s little 2 year old girl, Stella, has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma (high risk) cancer. It is very sad. Her chances of survival are 20%, but an expensive antibody therapy – only available in the USA – will increase her chances to 80%.

The problem is her mother, Allison, needs to raise £250,000 for the treatment. So myself and Sarah are doing everything we can to help, and are asking all our friends and contacts to donate a little money to save her. Please do not feel obliged, but anything you can afford will really help. It’s easy to do, just click here – www.justgiving.com/stella-appeal

If a Facebook campaign can get half a million people to buy Rage Against The Machine into No.1 instead of the X Factor, we can certainly save Stella’s life. We only need 250,000 people to donate £1 or more…

Please pass on this message to Keep Stella Smiling!

Thank you for your time,

Chris and Sarah
